Their new project, 'First Ride', slated for release on October 29th, is already generating buzz for this reunion.

The film promises a laugh-out-loud experience, following a group of 24-year-old friends embarking on their first overseas trip together.

Kang Ha-neul, known for his comedic timing in films like 'Twenty', 'Midnight Runners', and '30 Days', will portray Tae-jeong, a character with an intense obsession.

Director Nam Dae-joong, who previously garnered over 2.16 million viewers with '30 Days', is aiming for another box office hit with his signature fresh and rhythmic comedic style.

Nam expressed his delight working with Kang again, stating, "Working with Kang Ha-neul on set feels less like a director working alone and more like a collaborative creation." He added that 'First Ride' is a project enriched by the actors' diverse ideas.

Kang echoed this sentiment, saying, "The comedic chemistry with Director Nam is fantastic." He further hinted at the film's potential, remarking, "We had even more fun discussing scenes with Director Nam this time, leading to moments even funnier than what was on paper," suggesting 'First Ride' could surpass the humor of '30 Days'.

Kang Ha-neul is recognized for his exceptional academic achievements, having ranked first nationwide in the college entrance exam. He is known for his deep immersion into his roles, particularly excelling in comedic performances. His genuine and cheerful personality is also said to bring positive energy to his co-stars on set.
